Subject: [PATCH 3.14 119/228] igb: Fix Null-pointer dereference in igb_reset_q_vector

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christoph Paasch <christoph.paasch@...ouvain.be>

commit cb06d102327eadcd1bdc480bfd9f8876251d1007 upstream.

When igb_set_interrupt_capability() calls
igb_reset_interrupt_capability() (e.g., because CONFIG_PCI_MSI is unset),
num_q_vectors has been set but no vector has yet been allocated.

igb_reset_interrupt_capability() will then call igb_reset_q_vector,
which assumes that the vector is allocated. As this is not the case, we
are accessing a NULL-pointer.

This patch fixes it by checking that q_vector is indeed different from
NULL.

Fixes: 02ef6e1d0b0023 (igb: Fix queue allocation method to accommodate changing during runtime)
